A La Center teen remained in critical condition Friday night following a Tuesday fall in front of a pickup.

Colin Monahan has been at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center since the incident, recovering from serious head and internal injuries.

Colin fell and was struck in a parking lot at Holly Park in an accident while horsing around with a friend’s pickup, according to the La Center Police Department.

The department said the driver wasn’t aware of what was happening until it was too late, and was not at fault.

A Friday update on a GoFundMe.com online fundraising page, set up by family friends to help with the family’s medical expenses, said his condition has changed little.

Officials said doctors placed Colin in a medically induced coma to counter swelling around his brain.
